      Soter and Eurydice, the daughter of Antipater. She was married first to Alexander, the son of
      Cassander, king of Macedonia, and after his death to Agathocles, the son of Lysimachus.
      (Dexippus, apud <hi rend="ital">Syncell.</hi> p. 265; Euseb. <hi rend="ital">Arm.</hi> p. 155;
       <bibl n="Paus. 1.9.6">Paus. 1.9.6</bibl>; Plut. <hi rend="ital">Demsetr.</hi> 31.) By this
      second marriage (which took place, according to Pausanias, after the return of Lysimachus from
      his expedition against the Getae, <date when-custom="-291">B. C. 291</date>) she had several
      children, with whom she fled to Asia after the murder of her husband, at the instigation of
      Arsinoe [<hi rend="smallcaps">AGATHOCLES</hi>], and besought assistance from Seleucus. The
      latter in consequence marched against Lysiimachus, who was defeated and slain in battle <date when-custom="-281">B. C. 281</date>. From an expression of Pausanias, it appears that Lysandra must
      at this time have accompanied Seleucus, and was <pb n="864"/> possessed of much influence, but
      in the confusion that followed the death of Seleucus a few months after we hear no more either
      of her or her children. (<bibl n="Paus. 1.10.3">Paus. 1.10.3</bibl>_<bibl n="Paus. 1.10.5">5</bibl>.) </p><byline>[<ref target="author.E.H.B">E.H.B</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
